Default Threw on a quick acceleration kit

i went from a 16/44 (dunno why it had a 44 on there..i bought it like that) but i bought a new chain and sprocket set 520 conversion kit from sprocketcenter.com which i highly reccommend, and i threw it on yesterday and i can honestly say im truly shocked at the response i got....this thing does not like stayin on both wheels now, its so much quicker all around and has made me fall in love with my bike all over again...just wanted to post this so if anyone was wondering if its worth it or if theyre thinkinb about doing it....i say do it now!!!! its awesome!

I've heard aft a 520 conversion kit messes up your speedometer? Now you need a speedohealer to correct it?

I think the speedo problem is from changing the gearing... not the chain size. Mine reads 10% off at 60ish mph and has a 49 tooth rear, not sure of the front. Going to revert to stock gearing with a 520 soon on my scoot...

I believe if you got a -1/+2 set-up your speedo will be off around 13-14%

13-14% meaning how many mph difference, and is it reading less than ur going or reading more than your going...so say your going 60 what would it read?
